Answer:

P = 40.7kPa

Explanation:

To find the pressure on a surface 6 meter below you use the following formula, which takes into account the heights in which pressures are measured and also the density of the fluid and the gravitational acceleration:

P_2-P_1=-\rho g(y_2-y_1)             (1)

P2: pressure for a height of -6 m = ?

P1: pressure for a height of -2 m = 1.5kPa = 1500 Pa

ρ: density of water = 1000kg/m^3

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 ms^2

y2: -6m

y1: -2m

(the height is measure from the water level, because of that, the heights are negative)

You solve the equation (1) for P1:

P_1=P_2-\rho g(y_2-y_1)         (2)

Next, you replace the values of all variables in equation (2):

P_2=1500Pa-(1000kg/m^3)(9.8m/s^2)(-6-(-2))m=40700Pa\\\\P_2=40.7kPa

hence, the pressure on a surface 6 m below the water level is 40.7kPa

The filament of a certain lamp has a resistance that increases linearly with temperature. When a constant voltage is switched on
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

162.8 K

Explanation:

initial current = io

final current, i = io/8

Let the potential difference is V.

coefficient of resistivity, α = 43 x 10^-3 /K

Let the resistance is R and the final resistance is Ro.

The resistance varies with temperature

R = Ro ( 1 + α ΔT)

V/i = V/io (1 + α ΔT )

8 = 1 + 43 x 10^-3 x ΔT

7 = 43 x 10^-3 x ΔT

ΔT = 162.8 K

Thus, the rise in temperature is 162.8 K.

The maximum number of orbits in an atom is _____
svp [43]

Correct answer is:

<h2>The maximum number of orbits in an atom is <u>Seven.</u></h2><h3>Explanation:</h3>

Every energy level has a limited one orbital including two electrons. The orbits are settled in the sub-levels and there can be further than 1 sub-level as the number of energy levels rises. On energy level 1, there is 1 sub-level and 1 orbital. Energy level 2 can possess 2 sub-levels and 2 orbitals. These remain to develop as you progress from the nucleus of the atom, closing up with an infinite potential number of levels and orbits.
